Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment

该合同将为加州大学运营、专门用于支持海洋研究的研究船Melville、Revelle、New Horizon、Sproul提供船上科学支持设备。船上科学支持设备方案为被认为对适当和安全地进行海洋科学研究至关重要的船舶设备提供资金。该方案为下列项目提供支助：甲板设备，包括用于部署和取回科学仪器的绞车系统；导航设备，如雷达、陀螺仪和地球卫星接收器，用于确定研究地点的位置；通信设备，包括无线电收发信机和卫星收发信机，用于语音和科学数据通信；以及其他设备，如用于运送科学家往返数据检索地点的机动工作船。项目总监罗伯特·诺克斯完全有资格指导这一项目，他在监督船上设备的采购和安装方面拥有丰富的经验。该项目将允许该机构通过团购获得动态定位系统、陀螺仪、多普勒种子测井、备用蒸发器、通风柜、危险品储藏室和一艘工作船(该项目没有授予加州大学圣地亚哥分校的金钱奖励)。***

Prop # 0096813PI Robert KnoxThis award will supply shipboard scientific support equipment for the research vessels Melville, Revelle, New Horizon, Sproul operated by the University of California and dedicated to use in support of marine research. The Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment Program provides funds for ship equipment deemed essential to the proper and safe conduct of ocean science research. The Program provides support for such items as deck equipment including winch systems for the deployment and retrieval of scientific instruments, navigational equipment such as radars, gyroscopes and earth satellite receivers to pin point the location of research sites, communication equipment including radio transceivers and satellite transceivers for voice and scientific data communications and other equipment such as motorized workboats for transporting scientists to and from data retrieval sites. The Project Director, Robert Knox is fully qualified to direct this project having had considerable experience in overseeing the acquisition and installation of shipboard equipment. This project will allow the institution to acquire dynamic position system, gyro, Doppler Seed Log, back-up evaporator, fume hood, hazmat storage, and a workboat through a group purchase (no monetary award for this item to UCSD). ***
